I finished this A B C quilt a few days ago.
It shows up a little better outside on the clothes line:
This was a kit from Fat Quarter Shop with the letter's cut from a panel by Holly Holderman from the Dolly Dresses / LakeHouse Dry Goods. The pattern is in the American Patchwork & Quilting magazine from October 2010.
The ric rac is part of the pattern and kit but I decided to add hand quilting with Aurifil 12/2 Embroidery in color #2265. I stitched in the ditch around each block and diamonds in the plain blocks.
My free motion quilting in the red polka dot is shown above.....I did this around the whole border. This was a fun quilt to make. It finished at 60" X 70. The backing is a matching print in green. Hope it keeps someone warm for many years.
